2025 EC: Thread for all the women's races + Mixed Relay

[Armchair Cyclist]

Like I said, I'd prefer separate TTTs, but that isn't what you said to begin with. Your issue was with the entire concept of relays.

Yes it is, and you have not changed my mind. Entirely concept utterly flawed unless its purpose is social.

And in the context of a cycling team trial doubly so, because the discipline is, in and of itself, a test of the coaching and strength in depth of a nation.

It also seems to have failed enormously in gaining the interest of national associations and riders, given that only 7 teams entered the senior event.

Something I find a bit funny is that CQ are listing the Junior and U23 results on their women's page, but...

Rank	Rider	Team​	Time​	CQ​
1.​	OSTIZ TACO Paula	ESP	1h46'09"	0

Rank	Rider	Team​	Time​	CQ​
1.​	BLASI CAIROL Paula	ESP	2h30'29"	0

"Congratulations, Paula. You got a grand total of zero CQ points for your win in the European Road Race Championships."

No Vallieres or PFP this afternoon, so the favourites can't EF this up, right?

I sadly won't have time to watch as I'll be attempting to sell cheese in Japan, or something else that's time consuming, for a large part of the day.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anyone name Paula in this race.
